UToledo Band Program

THE ROCKET MARCHING BAND

The University of Toledo Rocket Marching Band is one of the largest and most visible student groups on campus! With up to 250 musicians, dancers, twirlers, and color guard, the RMB is a positive source of pride and school spirit for you as well as the entire UToledo community.  It's a GREAT time to get involved! Remember that The RMB:

  • Is open to ALL UToledo students, regardless of major. Engineering, Pharmacy, and Nursing students represent a large number of the RMB's ranks.
  • Is a class, which provides a 1-hr. elective credit that will count toward ANY degree.
  • Provides all members with at least a $1,000 scholarship & priority course registration.
  • Performs in the BEST venue in the MAC. The Glass Bowl seats 26,000 and hosts some of the most exciting college football in the country!

Our mission

  • Strive for excellence and continual growth as an organization and as individuals.
  • Foster professionalism, dedication, and integrity within our fellowship.
  • Accept accountability for our attitude, effort, and overall success.
  • Exhibit these ideals through our passion and performance to ignite our tradition of pride on the field, in the stands, and throughout the community.
